If file-roller can't open the file then the archive structure may be
corrupted beyond repair.

A few things to try (make a backup of the file and try on the backup):

- Try opening with Gvim to see the archive headers, compare with a valid
.odt and see if perhaps you can repair manually.

- Try repairing with 'zip'
$ zip -F foo --out foofix
or
$ zip -FF --foo --out foofixfix

See 'man zip' for more info. Note: you may have to install zip if not
installed already. Given that you are using file-roller (Archive
Manager) I'm guessing that you may have a Debian based system? If so
here is some added information:

Currently  the fix options can't recover entries that have a bad
checksum or are otherwise damaged.
